Keep in mind that all of those starving serfs on Apokolips and even the parademons are supposed to be new gods and those things drop like flies. Most of them don't even have powers beyond being especially strong and capable of healing from injuries.
Comparativly the Greek gods all have special powers from changing shape to commanding elements to commanding souls of the dead.
